This is how we continue to insult and alienate our fellow citizens in Sabah and Sarawak!
The ignoramus in Malaya - politicians, pundits, editors, journalists, advertisers; including "I was there at the Padang" down memory lane ramblers continue to use "Happy 56th Birthday Malaysia".
The historical fact is that the Federation of Malaysia was formed on September 16, 1963 - so it will be the 50th Malaysia Day (National Day, Birthday, call it what you will) come September 16, 2013.
Definitely NOT 56th!
The greatest insult is of course to hoist the August 31 56th Merdeka Day on our fellow citizens in Sabah and Sarawak.
Please get it right - August 31, 1957 has no significance to our fellow citizens across the South Cina Sea!
And, by the way, the Federation of Malaya passed into history on midnight September 15, 1963!
